ADs for schizo-whatever...worth it?

Posted by Christ_empowered on April 20, 2014, at 19:43:23

I'm either schizoaffective, manic type, or Bipolar I w/ heavy psychosis...or somewhere in between, if there is a gray area.
Now, I'm on Trileptal 1200 and Abillify 30 and Neurontin when and if I need it, max 300mgs in 3 doses daily.
I just don't know...I get what I guess is psychotic depression, but ADs can make you apathetic. And fat(ter). And there's TD to contend with, since I'm on Abilify forever and I'm concerned that adding in an AD might up the risk. Am I right or wrong?
I was on Tofranil. Ugh. Worked, I guess, but..now I see why they made newer drugs.
I'm torn. Sometimes, I want no ADs, ever. Then I think: Effexor or Cymbalta plus Remeron, NOW! I just don't know :-(
Anyone have insight?>
